As Laurie will attest, rubber does not last indefinitely. Over the years it
can age, shrink and get brittle. I’m sure she hates when that happens. Maybe
that’s what caused the “crack” in it that she mentioned.

Mike, she sent around a picture of it this morning. The insert says Frank
Pachmayr on it, and it looks to be made out of a hard rubber material.

What he said.
What’s the Pachmayr insert made of, plastic, rubber or metal?

Not likely as it is not part of the original gun

Yes, indeed, a nice looking specimen. Given the dates and the lack of an under
barrel ejection rod shroud, this one would be a 1st generation Dick Special. I
believe the other differences in the various generations (mine is a 3rd
generation) comes mostly in the hammer design. It’s got nice looking bluing
and the wood grips look very clean as well. The Pachmayr grip insert is an
add-on, of course, which some people liked for Colt and S&W snubbies to fill
out the grip a bit. Given the prices I’ve seen lately for Dick Specials I’d
place it around $700 - $800.

Easy Erich…
A friends’ 1938 dick special, was his father’s. I’ve never seen what looks to
be a
Pachmeyer grip extension in front of the wood grips? Comments?
